Synopsis

Director David Fincher (Fight Club, Seven) teams with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing) to explore the meaning of success in the early 21st century from the perspectives of the technological innovators who revolutionized the way we all communicate. The year was 2003. As prohibitively expensive technology became affordable to the masses and the Internet made it easy to stay in touch with people who were halfway across the world, Harvard undergrad and computer programming wizard Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) launched a website with the potential to alter the very fabric of our society. At the time, Zuckerberg was just six years away from making his first million. But his hearty payday would come at a high price, because despite all of Zuckerberg's wealth and success, his personal life began to suffer as he became mired in legal disputes, and discovered that many of the 500 million people he had friended during his rise to the top were eager to see him fall. Chief among that growing list of detractors was Zuckerberg's former college friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), whose generous financial contributions to Facebook served as the seed that helped the company to sprout. And some might argue that Zuckerberg's bold venture wouldn't have evolved into the cultural juggernaut that it ultimately became had Napster founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) not spread the word about Facebook to the venture capitalists from Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer and Josh Pence) engage Zuckerberg in a fierce courtroom battle for ownership of Facebook that left many suspecting the young entrepreneur might have let his greed eclipse his better judgment. The Social Network was based on the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich.

At last, a movie you can actually discuss afterward. And not just on Facebook or Twitter. No, you'll want to chew it over in person, with friends, for hours.

Fincher and Sorkin's ironic essay on both the advances and decline in social networking

Dave Calhoun

Despite the fun of the parties, the intrigue of the legal wranglings and the humour of the dialogue, Fincher and Sorkin never let us forget that we're complicit in their story (or at least 500...

The movie's lustrous, deep-focus frames and headlong pace are difficult to resist. Its an entertainingly cynical small movie.

You will know The Social Network is something very special from its first scene.

David Denby writes: “In this extraordinary collaboration, the portrait of Zuckerberg, I would guess, was produced by a happy tension, even an opposition, between the two men—a tug-of-war between Fincher’s gleeful appreciation of an outsider who overturns the social order and Sorkin’s old-fashioned, humanist distaste for electronic friend-making and a world of virtual emotions. The result is a movie that is absolutely emblematic of its time and place.”

One of the best films I've seen. Personally, one of my favorite and, in my opinion, well produced films I've ever seen. It's astonishing how entertaining, dramatic, and we'll produced they made such a seemingly boring story. It really is a masterpiece, must see!

A masterpiece of contemporary filmmaking! This is David Fincher at his unparalleled best! Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield deliver powerhouse performances with the help of a surprisingly good Justin Timberlake and some really fantastic dialogue. One of my all time favorites!

Interesting Its always so fascinating to watch behind the scenes on the products that have revolutionized the way we live. Who knew that Facebook could change the way we live? Some peoplemay not realize how social media has changed how we so everyday tasks. If u like true stories, you will enjoy this.

The most horrible thing I wasted 15 minutes on Only here to report that...I know Fincher is as polarizing as the brazen creator of society's Internet evil (Facebook), so I'm owning up to the fact I am of the "hate this so much" spectrum.

Just Awesome. This film is intriguing enough to spark an interest in the computer programming world, along with the business field displayed by Eduardo Saverin played by Andrew Garfield. Inspirational without a doubt.

Surprised I liked it. I am not a fan of Facebook which is why I refuse to have anything to do with it. Saw this movie on a flight to S. America. To my surprise it was a really good movie. I actually own it now. Clearly shows the evil that men do to reach the top.

Very Entrepreneurial! Great movie for those who are driven by business. Obviously we do not all come from the same background or have that one friend that can put up as much money as needed. But the movie was great nonetheless.
